Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower.

I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night.

Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there.

Highly recommend this product." — KZ Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy.

No rinsing or vacuuming required! Promising review: "This is by far the BEST carpet/upholstery cleaner ever! I have tried to clean coffee stains off carpeting to no avail, until I used Folex.

That's it! No after rinsing or anything. You're done and your carpet looks brand new. Highly recommend this product.

It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Promising review: "We got this product because, while stainless steel appliances look so nice when you first get them, as soon as you start using them, you get fingerprints galore.

All of the 'home remedy' tricks we tried were annoying or so labor-intensive as to be overly frustrating, so this product has been wonderful. It takes only a few minutes to clean all the appliances and make them look brand-new again — great for when company comes over, and you want to pretend like you always live in a magazine spread for a home rather than the comfortable way you normally do :-)" — Anton Stocker Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This is a great tool for a lazy person like me. I've run it every day since I got it a week ago, and it's picking up all the dirt, dust and cat hair I have neglected for ages. I still have to empty the dust collector and clean the filters, but it's nothing compared to having to drag the vacuum cleaner around the house myself! Definitely worth its price!" — Lina L.

Yeung Get it from Amazon for $199.99 . 12.

I bought this on a whim, given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time.

In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get , especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $39.99 .

14. Plus, a crack weeder tool if you're simply unable to ignore all those leafy weeds that manage to slip in through cracks in the concrete against all odds. Promising review: " I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool.

Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort, but the end result was so worth it!" — Shelley Arakaki Get it from Amazon for $19.

90 . 15. A beloved tub of pink cleaning paste that'll perform small cleaning miracles on virtually any surface in your home without endless, abrasive scrubbing.

Try it out on those "forever" stains other cleaners couldn't handle. Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do with this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job.

Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny.

What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok! !!" — Rachel in CLT Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: " We moved into a new apartment, and the mold was out of control, and it was disgusting . We tried so many products to get it out until we found this one and decided to try it as we didn’t have anything to lose. I’m so happy we bought this! This is basically concentrated Clorox as a gel, so it’s so much easier to apply than the liquid, and it kind of stays in place.

You just have to apply it, wait a few hours, and remove it (no scrubbing required). Just make sure your shower is dry when you apply it, and you’ll be good to go. Definitely worth buying if you have the same problem and nothing has worked.

" — Chris Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 17.

A decorative wooden beaded garland to wrap around vases, drape over book stacks, and just generally have around to take your table displays from lowkey to luxe real quick.

It just brings pretty to any space you want to pop. It’s thick, but not too thick either, and the beads are smooth and well-made." — May@36 Get it from Amazon for $8.

99 . 18. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip if you're tired of bulky plugs and tangled cords preventing you from actually pushing your furniture up against the wall.

It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, and it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" — Jay Get it from Amazon for $23.

The light prism effect gives my apartment a very whimsical feeling that I love. Now, I don’t have to worry about people looking into my apartment. However, keep in mind that at night, people can probably still kinda see through.

Do what you will with that info, lol." — Violinanonymous Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 sizes and 3 colors).

20. A microfiber EasyWring spin mop with a hands-free wringer for making it easier than ever to actually deep clean your floors. (Be honest.

How long has it been?) As if that wasn't tempting enough, this mop is designed to get into tight corners *and* is made with microfiber fabric that is machine washable and able to trap dirt with just plain ole water — no harsh cleaners needed. Promising review: "The mop is perfect for my 1,000-square-foot apartment. The bucket spinning feature prevents the mop from being too wet when you use it, so the floors dry fast.

The mop collapses down super small, so storage is easy, and the machine washable feature is perfect. The only bump is that if you aren't pushing down on the mop hard enough when dragging it around, it will sort of roll over itself, but it's a simple problem to fix." — Michael Schnese Get it from Amazon for $34.

97 . 21. A four-tier slim storage rack with attached hooks if you get excited about clever space optimization.

Load this up with cooking gear, cleaning supplies, or anything else that you'd want on hand and ready at a moment's notice, with the option to hide it away in a corner when you're done. Promising review: "Perfect for small spaces! I lack much storage space in my kitchen. This shelf is perfect because it’s so compact but has a good amount of extra storage space.

It was very easy to assemble, well made, and perfect for spices and cans of food! I think I might purchase another one for my bathroom toiletries and things like that. Very happy with this purchase!" — Liana Nicole Get it from Amazon for $26.89+ (available in five colors).

THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS! Note: Wear clothing that you can dispose of afterward. It will take the color out of fabric quickly if you get it on your clothing." — Ron Get it from Amazon for $16.

Snagging this roll-on formula is a small price to pay compared to the potential of not getting your security deposit back. Erase-A-Hole is a family-owned small business selling a patented blend of wall repair putty invented by a professional with over 20 years of drywall experience. Promising review: "Does exactly what it says.

Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem.

Other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." — Amanda Get it from Amazon for $14.

97 . 25. A two-tier drawer organizer because it's time to create functional storage out of the cluttered abyss residing under your sink.

Welcome to a whole new world where opening a cabinet doesn't trigger an avalanche of half-empty shampoo bottles and cleaning supplies. Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worth it! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past.

With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sections' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." — Tess HDP Get it from Amazon for $13.

I am using three from this set and have hung different objects with them. The heaviest was a long welcome sign! You won’t be dissatisfied by ordering them." — Cheryl Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.

Promising review: " A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub..

. Make sure your screen is cool, spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then, flip the cloth and rub it off.

I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.

97 . 28. A cabinet door organizer so the pile of cutting boards permanently hanging out on your countertops will finally have a home where they're organized, on hand and, most importantly, out of sight.

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes.

The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners. " — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $16.

97 (also available in a two-pack). 29. A fast-drying grout paint pen to help you cover up any stains in your tile cracks that just won't budge.

Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities. Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well, are super easy to use, and cover the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house.

The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border, but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep small holes or grooves that are in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole, rub it in with your finger, and wipe off the rest.

I have very light beige tile, and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very white tile. This beige will blend well with white as well.

Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3-by-20-foot area, no problem." — NatJH Get it from Amazon for $8.

I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot of cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project.

There’s a variation in the pattern depending where the length was cut during manufacturing (one solid piece). See my photo compared to the one on the site. Extremely pleased with this curtain and the cat agrees too!" — MBF Get it from Amazon for $19.
